Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to a helmet storage device.

(Prior Art) A helmet is essential for driving a motorcycle, but when parking the motorcycle, the helmet is attached to a helmet holder provided on the side of the vehicle body for temporary storage.

However, in this case, the helmet protrudes laterally from the vehicle body, and there is a risk that the helmet may be damaged by hitting a passerby (or a bag carried by a passerby). Additionally, since the helmet can be easily attached to a conspicuous location, there is a risk of theft.

Therefore, in order to solve this problem,
A helmet storage device disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 37881 was proposed.

This device pivots one end of the seat of a motorcycle to the vehicle body so that the seat can swing freely relative to the vehicle body, and a holding member is provided between the seat and the vehicle body, and a helmet is stored with this holding member. I have to. In this way, the helmet will not be damaged and the risk of theft will be greatly reduced.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, even with the above-mentioned helmet storage device, it is still uneasy for the driver to park the motorcycle for a long time with the helmet stored, so when parking for a long time, etc. If the helmet can be carried around while stored in the storage device, the above-mentioned concerns will be resolved, and the helmet will not be damaged while being carried around, which is convenient.

On the other hand, recently the seats are only tribal seats,
One-person motorcycles with a cowl covering the top of the body behind the tri-bird seat are becoming popular.

It is desirable to provide a helmet storage device for easy helmet storage in such motorcycles as well, but in this case, if the cowl could be easily converted into a pillion seat by attaching this helmet storage device,
One motorcycle can be used for both one-person and two-person use, making it extremely convenient.

The present invention was made in view of such conventional problems,
The purpose is to provide a helmet storage device that allows the helmet to be carried around while stored, and allows the cowl on the rear upper surface of the seat to be easily used as a pillion seat.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, a first invention provides a pillion seat for a motorcycle comprising a bottom plate and a seat portion that is movable upward relative to the bottom plate. The pillion seat is provided with a bag-like storage part that stores a helmet by moving, and the pillion seat is made detachable from the vehicle body.

Further, a second invention provides a bag in which a cowl on the upper surface of the vehicle body behind the driver's seat of a motorcycle is composed of a bottom plate and a cover member that is movable upward with respect to the bottom plate, and a helmet is stored by moving the cover member upward. A shaped storage section is provided in the cowl, and the cowl is detachably attached to the vehicle body.An elastic member such as a sponge is attached to the inner surface of the storage section, and the cover member is inserted into the storage section. A holding member is provided in the storage portion to cover the upper surface of the cover, bring the sponge into contact with the upper surface of the cover, and maintain this state.

(Function) According to the first aspect of the invention, the pillion seat provided with the storage section is detachable from the vehicle body, so it is convenient to carry the helmet with the pillion seat removed from the vehicle body.

Further, in the second invention, when the cover is in the storage part, the storage part covers the top surface of the cover, and the sponge attached to the inner surface of the storage part comes into contact with the top surface of the cover, so it can be conveniently used as a pillion seat. .

As shown in FIG. 19, a locking piece 65a constituting one tooth of the fastener 65 is attached to the edge of the first cloth material 61 on the second cloth material 62 side. A locking piece 65b constituting the other tooth of the fastener 65 is attached to the edge on the side of the cloth material 61 of No. 1, and the storage section 64 is opened and closed by this fastener 65. Moreover, the first cloth material 6
As shown in FIG. do.

As shown in FIG. 21, an elastic member 68 such as a sponge is fixed to the inner surface of the side surface 62d of the second cloth material 62, and the side surfaces 62b and 62c are configured with locking pieces 70a and 70b. A fastener 70 is provided.

In the above, normally the cowl 51 is attached to the vehicle body as shown in FIG. 17, and when the motorcycle is parked and the helmet is no longer needed, the cover member 53 is swung upwards around its front end. to expand the storage section 64 and open the zipper 65.

(The state shown in FIG. 19) Next, the helmet is placed into the storage part 64 through this opening, and the zipper 65 is closed to store the helmet.

Next, if for some reason it becomes impossible for two people to ride on this single-seater motorcycle, do the following. That is, from the state shown in FIG. 19, the first cloth material 61 is folded to the bottom side of the cover member 53, and in this state, the cover member 53 is folded down into the opening of the second cloth material 62 (FIGS. 21 and 24). condition).

Next, as shown in FIG. 25, fold the second cloth material 62 toward the cover member 53, cover the cover member 53 with the second cloth material 62, and close the zipper 70 (in the state shown in FIGS. 26 and 27). ). In this state, the elastic member 68 is attached to the cover member 53.
The cowl 51 comes into contact with the upper surface and functions as a seat similar to a normal pillion seat.
1 will be able to accommodate another passenger. In this embodiment, in the states shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, the second cloth material 6
The locking piece 65b provided in the second cloth material 62 is exposed to the outside, but by folding the second cloth material 62 inward, the locking piece 65b is positioned inward and cannot be seen from the outside. can also be considered.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the first invention, the pillion seat provided with the storage section is detachable from the vehicle body, making it convenient to carry the helmet with the pillion seat removed from the vehicle body. be.

Further, in the second invention, when the cover is in the storage part, the storage part covers the top surface of the cover, and the sponge attached to the inner surface of the storage part comes into contact with the top surface of the cover, so it can be conveniently used as a pillion seat. .
